Look, I'm a hunter, not a troll (except when the Northern's are biting), but I still don't understand any hunter's desire to want to kill a wolf. I remember when I was growing up thinking wolves were the coolest animal with the most prestige of the forest...and, I always thought they shared a close connection to humans because "dog is man's best friend." So, why then, do men (and I suppose a few women) find pleasure and a good feeling within themselves when they successfully hunt and bag one of these majestics. Maybe that's the reason, right there. Maybe people like to hunt them because they are the ultimate hunter. But then what do those types of hunters have to prove to an animal who likely has some sense of the advanced predatory nature of humans...the wolf must know, through instinct or experience, that humans are the dominant hunters (survivors) within its environment.

I would try doing it in a semi-public place. Have a general goal of going out to eat and having sex somewhere in public. It can be the entire game for the evening. Plotting and planning like its a special ops mission where you are going to have sex. Top of the Space Needle? Local library between the shelves? Imagination is the limit.

Agreed. It makes Vikings fans look like whiny little bitches. I understand they are popular but so were a lot of things that deserved banning throughout history. The bottom line is that it inhibits actual productive discussion and makes the board look less serious and less desirable (and therefore less accessible) for the majority of fans. We get it. You hate any team except the Vikings. Yawn.

Might not kill the tree, but it's certainly not going to help it. I've seen trees that have been marred and scarred about as bad or worse than this one that live on many years...but the bark is so important to a tree's health so it is really a toss up with respect to how it will handle it. With an opening like that, it's inviting all kinds of bugs and diseases that will give this tree a tough life.

I disagree. Take the cops out of their cruisers, they are still cops. You haven't changed anything by putting them "closer" to the public. Besides, this has been a proposed solution for a while. What needs to happen is there needs to be CONSEQUENCES for behavior unbecoming of an officer...I mean, real consequences. People need to lose their jobs. People need to sit at desks and not be allowed out on patrol. The city is not safer with the SPD, at this point. They are a bunch of renegade, pretentious, racist, assholes who will shoot anything that moves. Scary.

You have no idea what you're talking about, with respect to the equipment used to capture these photos or the sun, so please stop spreading misinformation like, "those are just grains of sand or dust on the lens." That is complete and utter bullshit and the reason these are significant anomalies is self-evident. Referring to them as space ships may be going too far, but I'm not going to be in the camp of idiots out there saying it is outside the realm of possibilities. That's what's wrong with the internet nowadays. You damn kids and your bullshit misinformation is littering the whole god forsaken place with nothing worth reading.
